Hey! I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have a nested list coded under "Shapes" correctly but I can't advance

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

This is what your code should look like for the unordered list. You put the second ordered list outside of the list item.

 <ul>
      <li>Shapes                 // Take note of how the
        <ol>                     // <ol> element on this line
          <li>Square</li>        // is inside of the <li> element
          <li>Circle</li>        // containing the word Shapes
        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>
